Exactly. It is an extension of themselves. Which is why they will go to any length to defend their perception of it. No matter how skewed it may be.

The rest of your post is a lot of typing that doesn't really need addressing. Wolfenstein was released in 1992, that was 20 years ago. Modern shooters have things like tanks and aircraft and mission systems. They are still just shooters. They are not simulation games.

Shooters.

I'm not going to agree to disagree because that is some sort of compromise intended to concede that both sides are right. In this case, they are not.

I will knock it off though, cause this thread is about killcams and not about defining the genre.

It's all part of the push to 50 pages.

Just to let you know, your perception of what this game should be is just as skewed as theirs.

Wat?

I haven't once said anything about what I perceive this game 'should be'.

I'm looking at a ***** and calling it a *****.

It was almost a completely different game when you had a good commander and a few good squads working together. Good stuff.

Aurmanite, by your own definition of 2142.

When a PS2 player rolls a commander it turns into a strategy game. Dude, think about this, it makes sense.

Even if it's not in at launch it'd be great to see something like this further down the line.

It could be by a five minute delay, but war correspondents announcing, "The New Conglomerate has a significant presence in Searus this morning, lots of bloodshed but the Terran Republic are holding their ground although severely outnumbered. Here is some footage of our heroic soldiers in action."

Of course skewed by empire propaganda.

I like how he skipped Raka Maru's post

I didn't like him from the beggining. Traak and Warborn like to troll, but they're more... dunno, funny.

The difference being he actually played 2142, and thus can make a definition for what he observed.. His definition for 2142 is also really accurate, because that's exactly how the game was PLAYED.

No one has played PS2 yet so we don't know any of the mechanics of commanding within the game. I can offer a pretty legit guess that once the game is out, 0% of the tryhards and mouth breathers on these forums will be any good at it.

Aurmanite, I respect the battle you're fighting, but just give it up... These forums are a waste of your time - you seem smarter than this.

I really doubt Aurmanite really means what he says. Because I don't believe there're people who have absolutely no solidarity with others, independently of the subject.

Sidenote: I still keep my vote out of it, there're loads of ways to implement KC without hurting the gameplay.

I think his position on what he's talking about makes sense.

You think Warborn is actually funny? You're fucking kidding me right?

Tools everywhere.

What I mean is he's obvious. Unlike Aurmanite, who in my opinion is too fixated on his ego. Be it just a postwhoring or a real thing, bashing in, calling everyone a tool and starting to prove something people will not agree with by any means is not a way to go.

EDIT: 5 conflict resolution styles, remember?

EDIT2: Wnna make a bet, that he's going to take what I say for an attack and confront me instead of even thinking about what I said? I'm an elitist for him, so he gives no flying dog...

Final warning, everyone back on topic. If you cannot agree then just agree to disagree.

Thanks for the compliment.

I'm not here trying to troll or fight. I have 5 midterms to study for and no suitable distractions, so I'm here exercising some critical thinking and jabbering about something I enjoy quite a bit.

I am a huge fan of this game and extremely excited for its release. It is just unfortunate for some of the patrons of this site that they are out of their depth when trying to argue with me. If you try to reason with emotion or without logic you're gonna get frustrated real quick by my impetuous style and impregnable defense.

Whew I'm not really that conceited. In most of my posts I go outta my way to be silly and over the top.

On the 2142 bit, if you're going to try and corner me by quoting me as saying 2142 had great commander play, you end up in a place where you want Planetside 2 to be more like Battlefield... Or that you think Battlefield is a strategy game.
